Emperors Nightingale ‎(CDr, Album). But, compared to the earlier Stereo MC's releases, this one is a lot further from what I like about the group. I prefer when there's a lot more rhyming and flowing: instead, this one has a lot of Rob singing. I also prefer when they lean heavily on hip hop, funk, and 70's cinematic soul vibes. This one's got a lot of glossy, clean electronic pop. As such, I predict with 100% confidence I will probably not listen to it again, and will continue to go back to the Stereo MC's classics instead

On this album, vocalist Rob Birch sings, almost exclusively. Only on "Bring It On " does his singing start to resemble rapping in any real wa. The duo's new style is not exactly forward-looking - squidgy synths and glistening electronic percussion predominate - but it's certainly accomplished and self-assured, and at its best the results are truly impressive.

Best Of Stereo Mc's 2003. Double Bubble CD1 2008. Step It Up (Single) 1992. But it's not 1993 anymore, and over the years the Stereo MC's have gradually shrugged off the strictures of hip-hop orthodoxy and become a genuine pop group. On Emperor's Nightingale their sound is still informed by their hip-hop past, but much more so by their years of remixing and exploring other beat-based genres. On this album, vocalist Rob Birch sings, almost exclusively.

Stereo MC's are a British hip hop/electronic dance group which formed in Clapham, London, in 1985. They had a transatlantic Top 20 with their single "Connected". After releasing eight albums for Island Records, K7, Graffiti Recordings, and Pias, they formed the label Connected with Terranova to release their own material and that of other artists within the nic medium.

Honestly, it's not a bad release. But, compared to the earlier Stereo MC's releases, this one is a lot further from what I like about the group. I prefer when there's a lot more rhyming and flowing: instead, this one has a lot of Rob singing. I also prefer when they lean heavily on hip hop, funk, and 70's cinematic soul vibes. This one's got a lot of glossy, clean electronic pop. As such, I predict with 100% confidence I will probably not listen to it again, and will continue to go back to the Stereo MC's classics instead. But like I said off the bat: this is probably *someone's* cup of tea. It ain't bad...it just ain't for me.
